Greener cosmetics

Products that are organic or which use more natural ingredients

A green badge means the product passes our greener cosmetics criteria which is based on certification by independent organisations and company on pack information. A grey badge means it does not. The greener cosmetics badge applies to skin and haircare products. Organic certification standards aim to protect the environment, maximise use of renewable resources and recycling, minimise pollution, waste and processing, while protecting local wildlife and animal welfare too. More companies are also using natural ingredients. The independent certifiers that we look for include the Soil Association, EU Organic, NATRUE and COSMOS. Companies can also state on the label that the product is organic.
